Would he though? I thought he would be busy catching perpetrators rather than finding his match on a dating app. So I changed my reply.

Me

okay. No *laughing emoji*

Unknown

The only time I put my phone down was to change into two sets of pajamas, three pairs of socks, and to stuff a shirt into that hole in an attempt to stop the cold air from sweeping inside.

I think your CV is promising. You had every job possible

He texted me once I attached my CV—after carefully hiding my personal details so I wouldn’t ruin the game for both of us.

Unknown

I do and I also think you should apply to a few high-paid jobs as well :)

Me

funny *laughing emoji* Do you have any other good jokes?

Unknown

What do you mean? I’m serious

Me

I mean I’m not made for that kind of life

I’m built to work two jobs at once

Unknown

Nonsense. Apply to as many as you can tonight and if you don’t get an answer, then at least you know you’ve tried.
